It was the day everyone had gotten their final exam test scores back. Almost all of the kids had passed, meaning they got a special prize! All except one kid passed though, and that was you. Looking at your score, it was a 2/5, though that couldn't be right! You studied all night..it just..it wasn't fair! Silently, and yet visibly, you started to cry, your hands practically begging you to tear the sheet to shreds. Mr. Jacq was talking at the front of the classroom, but for you it all went in one ear and out the other like a pipe cleaner would a straw.

As Mr. Jacq talked about how proud he was of the class, he caught sight of you crying, and faltered for a minute before shaking his head and continuing to talk, a genuine smile plastered on his face. He couldn't help but worry about you though..

As the evening sunset poured into the classroom, almost everyone was chatting with their friends about their test scores. They passed by you as they filed out the classroom one by one, until you were left just relooking over the test questions. You were suddenly snapped out of your thoughts as you felt someone sit in the chair next to you. Turning your head to look at the person and preparing to lie your way out of this situation, you saw Jacq.

"Hey there..are you okay..?" He asked in a soft tone of voice, a gentle smile on his now tired face.
